I stand in awe and in wonder of the mighty works of my loving Lord. How within a week He has totally changed the course of our life. Jeremy just said about a week ago he thought our family was complete and as of February 2, 2012 God said no it's not. He is calling us to Haiti. We have just started to gather information about adoption from Haiti and we are excited. I haven't had time to focus on my joy dare or getting my thankfulness written down, but boy am I thankful. The Lord has promised us an abundant life. I have heard that scripture used in relation to material wealth, but let me tell you my interpretation of an abundant life. My life is abundant because God has blessed me with everything I prayed for in a husband, three beautiful children, and now He is abundantly choosing to bless us with another child from Haiti. It humbles and amazes me that He would use Jeremy and I to parent His children.

I will be starting a new blog to track this new chapter in our lives. I'll post the new information soon.

I know I've had a lot to say today, but a lot has happened. I apologized to Sam and Lily for my bad attitude today and Sam said something that stuck with me. I ask him to give me a kiss and he said, "I can't give you kisses because daddy threw my heart in the garbage." I wasn't sure what he was talking about, but later on he pretended to pick his heart up and put it in his chest and was able to give me a kiss. I started thinking about my attitude and my words. Do our words and actions pull ou... Continue reading...

Exasperated! That is my attitude today. God has been tugging at my heart for several years now, yes I said several years to simplify my life and return to Biblical Womanhood. And I will tell you my flesh has been fighting hard against it.

What is Biblical Womanhood? It is everything you can think of that is in complete opposition of what our culture has taught. It is being a servant, working in submission to our God given authority (our husband), training our children to be kingdom focused, h...Continue reading...

Sometimes we can get so bogged down and consumed with the cares of this world we forget the goodness of God. I have been reading Ann Von Camps blog at www.aholyexperience.com. And have decided in order to have a better attitude I must live in gratitude. So I'm starting today to blog my 1000 gifts from God. Lily is doing this too so I'm going to post her list as well.

Eli will be 18 months old tomorrow.....WOW!!! He's growing up so fast. He has gained 3 pounds, cut 10 teeth, and is walking everywhere. The same baby that came home and could barely chew his food, had no strength in his legs, pale, and thin is so healthy. I love HIM!!! He's still a little delayed in language, but he knows how to make his needs known. I'm so thankful for the blessing the Lord has bestowed on us! Thank you Lord for Eli Lee Williams!!!!!

I was reading the book of Jonah and I found it very interesting that not only did Jonah not want to go to Nineveh to preach, when God delivered them he was mad. It says, But to Jonah this seemed very wrong, (God saving the people) and he became angry. Jonah 4:1 This got me thinking about our Christianity. How we judge and criticize a certain people group and don't want to waste our time sharing the gospel with them because we think it is impossible for them to be saved, and then when God does...

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a...Continue reading...

This holiday season has been sweet because of our new addition, but it has also brought me to a place of much reflection.

I have been reading the Christmas story to my kids for the last couple of weeks and have been shown a lot of new things about this incredible story. First, I want to give you a picture of what was taking place in the heavens when the King of Kings entered the earth. It was not your typical birth. There were myriads of angels fighting satan and his army of demons. Yes, sat... Continue reading...
